The National Building Code of Canada 2015 (NBC), published by NRC and developed by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes, sets out technical provisions for the design and construction of new buildings. It also applies to the alteration, change of use and demolition of existing buildings. Over 360 technical changes have been incorporated in this new edition.
Thirty-four changes to the NBC and eight changes to the National Fire Code 2015 (NFC) now permit construction of six-storey buildings using combustible construction. As a result, additional protection measures have been added to address the risk of injury due to fire and structural collapse in the finished building as well as during construction. Special attention was also given to protect buildings during construction when fire protection features are not yet in place.
The many changes in the 2015 edition also include updates to accessibility and associated design requirements in Part 3, aligning Code requirements with the current knowledge on accessibility. Hazard values for seismic design in Part 4 and Appendix C have been updated and design exemptions withdrawn so that all buildings in Canada will now be designed for earthquake forces regardless of the level of hazard. Apparent Sound Transmission Class (ASTC) is introduced in Part 5 to assess compliance with minimum airborne sound requirements between dwelling units. There are also significant changes to Part 9, housing and small buildings, with over half impacting stairs, ramps, handrails and guards. A key change in the NBC 2015 increases the run dimension of a step inside the house, a change which aims to reduce fall incidences and aligns NBC requirements with international codes.
The NBC 2015 is divided into two Volumes and has been re-organized to consolidate relevant information. Each Part now contains the Prescriptive Requirements, followed by the related (appendix) Notes. Parts 1 to 8 are found in Volume 1 and Part 9 now forms Volume 2.
The NBC 2015 complements the National Fire Code of Canada 2015, and both are indispensable for officials, educators and construction professionals.

Government of Canada offers latest edition of the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings for free
November 28, 2018 – Ottawa, ON ─ Improving the energy efficiency of buildings is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce our carbon footprint. At the same time, providing free codes to the construction industry has been linked to strong gains in productivity and the economy in other countries.
That’s why the National Research Council of Canada and Natural Resources Canada are providing Canadians with free online access to the 2017 edition of the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB 2017).
The NECB 2017 builds on Canada’s commitment to work closely with the provinces and territories on the Pan Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change to meet emissions reduction targets, grow the economy, and build resilience to a changing climate. Provinces and territories may adopt the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings, or adapt it to create a regulation that meets their specific regional needs.
This pilot project marks the first time that a national building code has been made freely accessible, and will provide the Government of Canada with the opportunity to evaluate the benefits of moving towards such a model.
Through this process, we hope to leverage the information gathered, and compare the results to the experiences of other countries. For example, providing free codes to the construction industry in Australia has been linked to strong gains in productivity and the economy.
The NECB 2017 is published by the National Research Council and developed by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes. Users can access the new edition online at CodesCanada.ca.
'Energy efficiency is the ultimate win-win, helping improve Canada’s economy while protecting the environment. It leaves more money in consumers' pockets and creates quality jobs for Canadians, while reducing pollutants and stimulating innovation in our growing building sector.'
— Amarjeet Sohi, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources
'For small businesses, the cost of purchasing building codes has made it harder to succeed and grow. That’s why we are making access to the National Building Codes free across the country, starting with this pilot project. This will reduce the costs to business, encourage innovation, increase Canadians’ comfort and wellbeing, while reducing pollution. Everybody wins.'
— Navdeep Bains, Canada’s Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development
Heating, cooling, running appliances, and powering our homes and buildings accounts for 17% of Canada’s total greenhouse gas emissions.
Reducing energy consumption through better insulation, high-efficiency equipment and systems, and minimal air leakage will help Canada meet its climate commitments.
The long-term strategy for the NECB includes developing a series of incremental energy performance targets to guide industry in planning and building capacity in energy-efficient technology, design and construction practices.
The strategy also includes developing a model code for existing buildings that will address the energy efficiency of buildings when they are renovated - another important step in supporting the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change.
Today’s announcement further demonstrates the Government of Canada’s commitment, in the Fall Economic Statement, to make access to the National Building Codes free across the country.
